      abstract = {Based on the substitutability of economic activities, by  comparing the profit margin of farmers' planting of food  crops and non-food crops, grain growing and breeding, as  well as the daily return of grain growing and working  outside during 2001-2013, this paper points out that the  comparative income from farmers' behavior of growing grain  is not absolutely low, and the income from growing grain is  higher than from breeding pigs. It also studies the effect  of food subsidies on farmers' behavior of growing grain.  Farmers' behavior of growing grain is a helpless choice  under many constraints, including not only economic  returns, but also moral sentiments, political and social  factors. From yield, quality and price, government should  rely on science and technology to give full play to the  functions of government guidance and supervision, and  enhance the enthusiasm of farmers for growing grain, to  increase food production and ensure food security.},
